Seminar on “Cross-boundary Flow of Personal Information Within
the
Greater Bay Area”
Given the close integration of cities in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (Greater Bay Area), the demand for data flows between Hong Kong and other cities in the Greater Bay Area is increasing. In addition to enabling the overall digitalisation and economic development of the Greater Bay Area, cross-boundary data flows will expedite the establishment of the “Digital Bay Area”.
Against this background, the Memorandum of Understanding on Facilitating Cross-boundary Data Flow Within the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (MoU) was signed by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) and the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau of the HKSAR Government (ITIB) in June 2023. As a facilitation measure under the MoU, the CAC, the ITIB and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) jointly formulated the Standard Contract for Cross-boundary Flow of Personal Information Within the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (Mainland, Hong Kong) (GBA SC) in December 2023. The GBA SC aims to foster the cross-boundary flow of personal information within the Greater Bay Area and streamline the compliance arrangements.
To help organisations in Hong Kong understand the applicability of the GBA SC and its contractual clauses, the PCPD has issued the “Guidance on Cross-boundary Data Transfer: Standard Contract for Cross-boundary Flow of Personal Information Within the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (Mainland, Hong Kong)”.
The PCPD organises this seminar, in which the Government Chief Information Officer ,Ir. Tong Wong, JP, will provide an overview of the facilitation measure of the GBA SC including the relevant filing requirements and an update on the “early and pilot implementation” arrangement of the GBA SC. The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Ms Ada Chung Lai-ling, will explain the scope of application of the GBA SC and the obligations and responsibilities of contracting parties thereunder, and highlight the requirements under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance in transferring personal data from Hong Kong as well as the latest requirements under the Regulations on Facilitating and Regulating Cross-Border Data Flow issued by CAC on 22 March 2024.
We welcome data protection professionals, legal practitioners, and all who are interested to learn about cross-boundary transfers of personal information to join us.
Enrolment is on a first-come-first served basis.
